Subject: Re: Snow Survey and Aquatic Studies at Doris North - IMPORTANT
To: Gary Ash, Consultant for Miramar Hope Bay Limited (MHBL) & Doris North Distribution List
 
Dear Gary:
Thank you for your email.  The Nunavut Impact Review Board has reviewed your request and considers it appropriate under Section 12.10.2 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement to allow the work to be carried out immediately. NIRB proposes such a course of action because it considers the work to be further exploration/development work related to the baselines studies which will hopefully be used by Miramar Hope Bay Limited in support of the review hearing on the Doris North project currently scheduled for June.  
 
If any party disagrees with this procedure they need to contact the NIRB by 4:30 pm (MT) on May 3, as the consultant needs to be in the field by May 4th.  The NIRB would like to apologize to the parties for the short notice to review this request. 
 
The NIRB will follow-up further following the May 3 deadline. Should you have any question do not hesitate to give me a call at 867-444-4757(on duty travel) or contact Zainab Mogul at Zhoghal@nirb.nunavut.ca or by telephone at 867-983-2593.
 
Regards,
Dionne

Subject: Snow Survey and Aquatic Studies at Doris North - IMPORTANT

Hi Stephanie,
We are working with Hugh Wilson on the Doris North project, and need your assistance in expediting our Nunavut Research Institute Permit to allow us to complete some winter work in the Doris Project area. The specific work that we are planning to initiate in early May (May 4th) is a snowcourse survey, under-ice water quality sampling and installation of hydrometric stations in three lakes in the project area to obtain better estimates of early runoff and streamflows. Much of the proposed work is the direct result of information needs that have been identified by respondents during the NIRB review.
 
To expedite the issuance of our Research License, Mary Ellen Thomas suggested that I contact you and have you send an email to Rene Malcom at RMalcom@nac.nu.ca indicating that NIRB supports the proposed work.
 
If you have any questions, please contact Alison Smith at 780-930-8625 or Hugh Wilson at 780-975-2550.
 
Thank you.
